We loved the Pesto Shrimp & Veggie Packets from the other day so much we decided to have them again tonight but I changed things up a bit. OMG these are sooooo good... all the yummy stuff from a restaurant shrimp pasta dish without the heavy useless pasta. Shrimp are a great protein source too. A four ounce serving of shrimp supplies 23 grams of protein.

Peel and devein shrimp. Ingredients listed are for one packet multiply it for how many packets you are making. Place all ingredients in center of a piece of heavy duty foil (if you are using the $1 store stuff double it)

Fold the foil over and seal each packet. BBQ 15 minutes in covered grill. Open packets carefully (steam burns are not fun) and mix with a fork lightly before serving.

Highlights of the day:

* It's suppose to be cooling down. It was 102 today and woot only forecast for 100 tomorrow. Uggh. My walks have been too toasty but I did sweat a pound off this week.

* Conversation my Mum and I had this am (I should mention my Mum wears a hearing aid) but this will explain a lot about me.

Me (reading the horoscope outloud): Mars is in Uranus.Mum: What?! Moths are in your Anus?

Hey Shelly...It's Star. Ok, so i'm 10 days away from my surgery date and i'm starting to freak out a little that i'm not going to have "the right" things in the house. Any suggestions of things in the hospital and/or for the first few weeks home??

We’ve been trying to get my grandfather to have his hearing checked for years. He claims if we would stop mumbling he could understand us. So I definitely know how crazy a conversation can get. I think the best one was when my grandmother yelled downstairs and asked him to bring her some Kleenex and he brought her peanuts. Oh, what a laugh we had. We are definitely weather opposites. It’s been unseasonably cool here in CT. I’m not complaining though ‘70s is my kind of weather, if only I could find time to go out and enjoy it.

About Me

I had my guts rearranged (aka Weight Loss Surgery, RNY gastric bypass surgery June 2006) This blog is basically me rambling about my world. I also post recipes that I've adapted to make weight loss surgery friendly.
I love to cook.
I have always loved to cook. It's my creative outlet. I was scared that having weight loss surgery would put an end to my days in the kitchen but happily it did not. I actually get to be even more creative by analyzing a favorite recipe and seeing where I can make changes to make a healthier version of a pre-op favorite.
